Florida law enforcement will launch a criminal investigation of the apparent assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump, Governor Ron DeSantis said Tuesday.

He was arrested in a neighboring county. It was the second apparent assassination attempt targeting Trump in months.

The Pop and Rock club organized a live concert at Scooter’s Saturday night displaying the expansive musical talent at St. Thomas. These student acts were influenced by the 480 Collective, a student-run record label created within the music business department as a senior capstone project last semester.
Junior and club president Ben Barrett said he hopes to put on a similar concert every month with a fresh batch of UST talent so that student-produced music is more openly accessible on campus.
